Why rub across inside bill? and seems my fingers would be too large to get down far enough to get a pill inside the right hole. Just thinking out loud
I think maybe he's trying to get it past the glottis (opening to the trachea), or maybe touching of the bill causes their glottis to close? Me, I just stick the pill in and push it back with my finger. :idunno
 
I see now I could do it with my fingers but still don't understand sliding the pill across the inside upper bill?
I think I recently read that touching something in the mouth causes them to close the glottis, so that's the only thing I can think of.
 
This is good!!! I would make an article of this, but you could look up some pics of like a diagram or something of a ducks mouth so people know what they are putting the pill into.
